I lived close to 176th St East and N-12 and my middle school buddy lived close to 152nd St East and Avenue N, both of us in Lake Los Angeles.
My buddy that lives off of Avenue J and 200th St East is an Engineer that I worked with 25 years ago for nearly 5 years. He was really cool with me when I started out on my career. He also lived in Lake Los Angeles. Matter of fact a few blocks up the street from my other middle school buddy. At the time his 5-year daughter had a huge crush on me.
The First time I visited him at his new place in Hi Vista. His daughter was there out back in the garden. He told me to go back there and say hi. I went out back and called out to her. She turned around and immediately knew who I was a gave me a big hug. Her mother had to embarrass her and bring up the story when she found out I got married. Her mother told me that she was so heartbroken and cried for a week.
